Nothing But Pleasure (1940)
** (out of 4)
Buster Keaton and his wife sell their old car and take a trip to Detroit where they're going to buy a new one and drive it back home but nothing goes as planned. This Columbia short really isn't too different from the other ones that Keaton made there as it features a few laughs but not enough to make it worth watching by anything except a die-hard fan of the star. Once again, I think the biggest problem is that the studio tried turning Keaton into someone he's not. Had they let Keaton be Keaton then I'm sure the film would have been better but in the end we're left with worthless scenes of Keaton tripping over a chair or various other objects and this stuff simply isn't funny. The best scene in the film deals with Keaton trying to get directions from a cop who is losing his patience.
